LEEDS.—The continuance of the frost keeps our cloth markets in the same state as for some weeks past, the demand for balk goods continuing brisk, and the supply very limited. Business has been rather dull this week in the warehouses, but a pretty general expectation prevails that on the breaking , up of the frost, when the water conveyance shall again be come open, trade will improve. HUDDRRSFIELD.—Th ere was not quite so brisk a market as last week. In fact, the continued frost nearly closes the channels of trade. Goods are difficult to manufacture, and the stoppage of water conveyance prevents the arrival of new sorts in wools and the transit of goods, except a high rate. Wools maintain the advance. Light fancy goods are heavy of sale. Nothing but the weather prevents a healthful demand for nearly all descriptions of goods. BRADFORD..—The piece market has been very similar to that of last week. The manufacturers generally are urgent for a further advance, which buyers are reluctant to give. We have no variation as to the state of the yarn market to re port. The demand for yarns continues brisk, and the prices of last week are fully maintained. The demand for long wool, especially fine matchings, continues unabated. The supply is still very scanty, and prices quite firm. ROCHDALE.—The attendance at to-day's market was more numerous, and the amount of sales larger than for some weeks past ; fine and middle sorts of flannel sold well ; low sorts were rather brisker'; grey and dyed pieces were in request. Prices remain stationary. IMANCIIESTER.—There was a rather more extensive enquiry for the lower descriptions of yarn yesterday than for some weeks past ; but the prices offered were lower than theg ene rality of the spinners were disposed to take, and the amoun of business done was rather limited. For power-loom prin ing cloths there was a very fair demand, and on some inferio descriptions a trifling advance was realized. In other descrip.. tions of goods there was no change, and the market was flat. Guardian, lVednesday. OLDHAM.--.The cotton manufacturers of Oldham are con sidered to be in a depressed and languid state; in the trading' phraseology of the cotton chapmen, goods and twist go ofr badly, and prices are rather declining; still, when compared, with other trades, few factory operatives are out of work,' and wages continue at a satisfactory rate. The flatting trade is in a dull condition, and the workmen are frequently idle for several successive days. The families of bricklayers, canal boatsmen, and other out-door labourers are much distressed, in consequence of the inclemency of the weather interrupting the labour of these classes.

GENTLZMEX' ENCOURAGED by the spontaneous call of a csnsiderable number of the Electors of Marylebone to fill the vasancy which has oeeurred in the Representation of your Bo rough, I do not hesitate to respond to so flattering a proposal, and to become a CANDIDATE for the honour of your suffrages. To be thus invited by any portion of se powerful, enlightened, and liberal a Constituency, I consider, in itself, a great distinction. The favour which has been shown me on this occasion I can only attribute to my strenuous support in Parliament of the principles of civil and religious freedom, and of political, legal, and commercial Reform. The Vote by Ballot—the Extension of the Suffrage—the frequent Responsibility of Parliament to the nation—the General Education, and - Fre. Admission of the People to our National Institutions—the Mitigation of the Criminal Code—and the Repeal of the Corn Laws, have been the subject of my individual efforts, as well as of my votes. I have also steadily supported the Repeal of the Window Tax, so opnressively felt by the inhabitants of towns. lam favourable to those sound principles of Poor-law Adminis tration which have prevailed in your own, and in the best regulated parishes in the kingdom. But while I support every Legislative measure which may encourage the freedom and independence of the labourer, I am not pledged to a blind defence of the Machinery sad details of the Poor-law Amendment Act; and I deprecate its ex- tension to parishes like your own, whose magnitude, intelligence, and existing system of representation, offer an abundant security for the proper local management of their own affairs. Whatever be the issue of the impending contest, I earnestly hope that unity of purpose, as well as zeal and vigour, will charaeterise the proceedings of Reformers, and ensure the triumph of their cause. Cheered by the liberal support of many insolisited and unex pected friends. I shall strenuously engage in the contest, and endea vour to conduct it with the energy, firmness, and good temper which ought always to be combined on sack occasions.

CHEAPEST AND MOST COMPREHENSIVE NEWS PAPER .PUBLICATION IN ENGLAND. THE CAMBRIDGE GUAR DIAN; UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCER, LITERARY, and GENERAL ADVERTISER, for Ely, Peterborough, Lynn, Bedford, Newmarket, Huntingdon, St. Ives, Royston, Saffron, Walden, &c. THE EDITORS' ADDRESS. The discovery of printing has changed all social conditions—the press, a machine which can no longer be broken, will continue to destroy the old world till it has formed a new one. Its " voice" is calculated for the general forum of all people. The Press is nothing else than the word, the first of all powers —the word created the universe. Unhappily the word in man participates of the human infirmity—it will mix evil with good, till our fallen na ture has recovered its original purity. It has become too a matter of more than serious importance, and one which has been felt to be so by our able public men, toge ther with the great bulk of the Nation, that every exteesive com munity of a Christian and thinking people —among the luxuries of life which have been rendered in some degree indispensable to their moral as well as educational advancement—should be supplied with a cheap and intelligent Family Manuel of Education, rather than a mere Newspaper. In making this open avowal of a sentiment we believe very gene rally entertained, we would not be thought invidious. We there fore—and once for all—disclaim any such intention. We shall aim only at being useful ; and therefore venture to hope that our sphere of usefulness may become more and more enlarged- Doubtless, it were not difficult to prove, to demonstration—and and to satisfaction of every liberal mind—that through the media of the well-stored columns of a Newspaper, much practical good has been done in the way of " imperceptible education ;" and, that more lasting benefit remains to be accomplished by means of a " Weekly Intelligencer," that shall be made to assist the labours of the Schoolmaster, among the younger branches of almost every family ; while they could not fail to prove a valuable epitome of re ligious, literary, and domestic information to the older ; indepen dently of their obvious usefulness in other respects, particularly as a mode of advertisting. To those gentlemen who indulge in literary pursuits, and whose habits render them peculiarly adapted to give the Editors literary assistance, we would especially address ourselves, in the expectation that such aid will be cheerfully tendered. We have been among these who have long held, that a cheap Literary, Educational, and Domestic weekly journal, was deside rated, and would ultimately be obtained. We have lived to see oar modest notions on this point carried out with some show of success ; and we can n ot but anticipate considerable ben e fit f rom i ts i n fl uence, especially t ; knowing, as w e d o, t h at great care and en in order to secure that kind of patron ageainong increasing families painslie s siwill be taken which the Editors aim at, and will study to deserve. When we look at the increase of Cambridge —within the limits of her suburban districts—together with her natural as well as artificial—by natural, we mean the native and otherwise fixed re aidents ; by artificial, the non-resident or partial resident--popula tion ; and these, taken in connection with the unlettered masses found in the hamlets, villages, and neighbouring towns, we marvel that a third journal, and such as we propose to establish, should have been wanting to complete the demand so long made by the discussion; and because we would be consi dered Middle Classes" to represent their paramount interests. We purposely omitted the mention of Politics in this our brief s io ag ss r , ee r a a b th le er than Politicians. In former times Patriots statement ; because we dislike their unprofitable, and not unfre ,bitrhdatliiEvedli,utshPe d p ge r u i re d en e dt d ilY) t a n dt e ri mselves on two things : their own poverty, and the riches of the State. Bat poor as these men were, there were Kings not rich enough to purchase them, nor powerful enough to intimidate ce h t o as us e tore o ; them. In our time, however, it would be easier to find a Patriot rich enough to buy a King, than a King not rich enough to bu t for i ; n th e uS to pieces, with his own teeth, a woodpecker, because the augur, being consulted, YElius would flourish ; but that if it died, the prosperity of the State would prevail. Your modern . Patriots have discovered, that a roasted woodcock is a better thing than a prime, though raw, a Patriot. Valerihuandlrleapxliiemdu,sthian woodpecker. It must not be forgotten, that we are proposing to establish our selves, as public journalists, in the bosonof an U n i vers i ty, grown old, if not venerable , in the service of learnin g . Nor c an we f orget the respectful homage due from ourselves to the Tutor and the Student ; to the former, particularly, we bow with deference to greater powers of mind, and more extensive knowledge. We shall be most happy to have their united aid in furtherance of oar design. The seldom Lover of Literature, the Drama, the A r t s and Sciences, will find " The Cambridge Guardi an ," without valuable hints ; extracts from the leading Periodicals —e s p ec ially from Blackwood and Fraser. without reference to P o li t i cs ( w hi ch inter fere with the progress, and sometimes rove the ban of literature), the Metropolitan, the Westminster, &c. We promise the ingenious Mechanic, the industrious and de serving Artisan, something to benefit aid instruct them. We shall ever he alive to the poor man's rights and privileges: we are, in truth, his sworn friend. We shall not prove ourselves so truly m ean, as to purchase popularity at the expense of the poor man's conscience : nor, by withholding our strictures on the conduct of hi s ENEMIES, when both justice and humanity plead is his behalf ! The young of both•sexes will, it is devoutly to be hoped, find in our " Companion for the Middle Classes,"both informaticei and a musement, for the employment of the mind. From first to last we shall be found irrefutably opposed to war. We never utter the name of our Warriors without feeling that we belong to a blood -stained race of men ! And when we read of the murderous licentiousness of Don-almighty-Carlos, who has been suffered by the Great Powers of Europe, to march thousands of victimized men to slaughter their fellow victims, leaving in the the most cruel desolationmothers, wives, and children ; we ask, can such a state of rapine, cruelty, and bloodshed be conducive to the welfare of the great human family ? Let us cherish sentiments like Cowper'', who was a patriot ; who loved his country ; who loved liberty Srea it ten, " And let it circulate throug p h every h ery vein " Of all your empire ; that where Britain's power " Is f e lt, mankind may feel her mercy too.' Every man who honestly-:--if not ably—advocates the cause of freedom and good government is popular in England. For, natu rally and of necessity the people's sympathies are linked to those who prove themselves their friends, who labour to diminish their burdens , and diffuse among them a just and wholesome rt lish for knowledge : to provide civil and religious instruction for their chil dren, and raise them to that mental condition in which they may, with safety to themselves and to the State, exercise all the " rights o f freemen." In our pursuits of literature, as well as of arts and science, we shall be guided by these our first principles. We shall also en deavour to apply:them generally,:under all circumstance s ; attempt ing to show at the same time, wherein we diff e r f rom o th er pub lic writers, and by explaining wherein we consider Institutions, Laws, and Customs, are or are not calculated to conduce to the good of the great Human Family. It were unwise in us to pre - tend that the acts of public men shall not sometimes be discussed; but we pledge ourselves not to suffer our educ a ti ona l and domestic columns to be polluted by any rabid, vicious, and degrading matter.

Henry Colburn, Publisher, 16, Great Marlborough -street. On Saturday Alderman fables, the Chairman of the City Police Committee, communicated to his brethren that he had received the following note from Lord J. Russell : " Whitehall, Feb. 23. " Sir,—Observing that a Bill has been brought into the House of Commons for improving the City Police, I think it right to inform you, and I request you to communicate the information to the City authorities, that Government is of opinion that the Police ought to be placed under the Com missioners of the Metropolitan Police. Her Majesty's Minis ters, therefore, intend to propose a measure for accomplishing this object. "'I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, "J. RUSSELL." The Committee immediately resolved to apply to the Lord Mayor to convene a Court of Aldermen and a Court of Com mon Council forthwith on the subject of the communication, which, although it excited little surprise, gave a great deal of dissatisfaction to several of the members of the Corporation who heard of the intention of the Government. This movement on the part of the Government is looked upon by many as the forerunner to great changes in the mu nicipal institutions of the City, by which the Aldermen will be very deeply affected in their privileges. It was said in the City in the course of the day, but upon very disputable autho rity, that Mr. Benjamin Hawes and Alderman Humphery ar© to be two of three Commissioners to be appointed to act under Colonel Rowan and Mr. Mayne.

The whole of the work will be read with pleasure, but the great commercial and political interests connected with the statements in it respecting steam navigation on the Pacific, require the public attention to be particularly drawn to its consideration." —Times. Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. This day was published, i n 2 vo l s . tv.., D IARY OF THE TIMES OF GEORGE IV., WITH NUMEROUS LETTERS OF QUEEN CAROLINE, And other Royal and Distinguished Persons. " A large portion of our readers will not fail to recollect the extra ordinary sensation which was produced by the mere talk, about twenty years ago, of a said-to-be-forthcoming work, entitled The Book,' and the ultimate suppression, added to the actual possession, of which formidable Book,' was perfectly understood to be the chief, if not the only, hold a certain Ministry had of office. if all be true that is said of the work just issued, under the title of Diary of the Times of George IV.,' little, either of go od or ill, w ill h ave been avoided by that notable suppression ; for the writer of this work has evidently the materials, and does not seem to lack the in clination, to furnish the world with facts and incidents capable of setting together by the ears all the remaining denizens of that far famed coterie which assumed the name and of office of a Court' during a great portion of the ' Times' to which it relates."

The workmen hare petitioned the King, the GOvernment, and the Chambers. Meantime the Toulon authorities are prepared to repress any turbulence, of which, however, there had been no symptoms.

Thomas Williams, Esq., of Brynbras Castle, Carnarvon shire, and Ellen Evans and Ann Williams, his servants, were brought up by John Forrester and Ruthven, the police-officers, for re-examination, charged with having uttered in the Pre rogative Office, Doctors' Commons, certain forged papers, purporting to be the will and testamentary papers of John Panton, Esq., of Plasgwyn, in Angelsey. After some discussion the prisoners were remanded. MARLBOROUGII-STREET. On Saturday a respectable-looking person, named Shilling ford, corn-chandler and cowkeeper, Collier -street, Penton ville, charged his daughter, a pretty young girl, whose age was stated to be 19, with having absconded from his house with some of her mother's clothes. The father, who appeared to have taken his daughter's conduct very much to heart, stated that some time ago, his daughter had formed an attachment to William Parnell, a soldier in the 2d battalion of Coldstream Guards. In addition to the disparity of cir cumstances, the soldier having only Is. 4d. a day for his sup port, the soldier bore an indifferent character in the regiment. The daughter, however, was so bent upon matrimony that, although further intercourse with the soldier was prohibited, and an attempt to get married privately frustrated, she con trived to elude observation and to lease the house on Thurs day morning, having previously sent away her clothes, to get married. Anticipating the future unhappiness of her life, complainant, in order to induce his daughter to return to a comfortable and respectable home, had given her into the cus tody of the police on suspicion of having taken away property in her boxes not her own. To add to the unpleasantness of the occurrence, the soldier had been ordered into confinement until he went out to Canada on the 16th of March, with his regiment, for having been absent from barracks and having got married without the commanding officer's leave. It was most likely, therefore, that the girl would find her way home again, perhaps with a child to maintain. The daughter declared her father was welcome to search her boxes. She had nothing in them but her own clothes and other property. Fat - her . —Will you return home with me ? Daughter (pert ly)—No, that 1 won't. Parnell is mine now, and lam his wife. I shall do just as my husband tells me. Mr. Dyer feared the interposition of the magistrate was use less. The father then left the office very much affected. James Christie, a smart-looking youth, was brought before Mr. Conant, charged with having swindled a great number• of persons out of broad cloth. The prisoner said he was a pianoforte-maker, and had for merly worked for Messrs. Broadwood and Co. He was or dered to be brought up again on Tuesday. HAT7'ON- GARDEN. A gentlemanly-looking man, named George Taylor, WAS charged with having three wives. Rose Ammerton, the second wife, was married to the pri soner in August, 1834, soon after which - he deserted her, but she prevented others to whom he was paying his addresses from being ensnared by him. About twelve months back, she heard that he had a wife living when he had been married to her (witness), and she gave him in charge, but afterwards neglected to bring forward proof', owing to certain overtures which the prisoner made to her. After her husband's libera tion, he again commenced making love to maids and widows, and she had ascertained to a certainty that he had added another victim (then in attendance) to his list. Elizabeth Mary Grimley, a young woman, only 18 years of age, was united to the prisoner six months ago, at St. An drew's Church, Holborn. A Gentleman (whose name did not transpire), in answer to the Magistrate, was well acquainted with the prisoner's first wife, who was at present residing at Birmingham, and by whom he had had many children. After some conversation, Mr. BENNETT ordered that the further investigation of the case should take place in the pre sence of Mr. White, of Queen-square, the Magistrate before whom the charge of big.Tnay was preferred previous to his mar riage with Miss Grimley. A case came on for hearing before Mr. ROGERS a few days ago, which occasioned much .interest. A young man, very fashionably attired, who described himself as a comedian, was brought up by the overseers of St. Pancras, charged with deserting his wife and family. The wife, a very lady-like woman, stated that her husband had deserted her since the sth of December last. He had sent her ss. occasionally, perhaps as many as five in a fort night. She had been chargeable to the parish a week. The defendant, when called upon for his defence, said he was compelled to leave his wife in consequence of her ill usage of him. She had kept his house closed against him for whole nights, and he had been necessitated sometimes to walk the streets till daylight. The wife, with tears in her eyes, asked her husband how be could utter such falsehoods?—Mr. ROGERS (to the defentant.) —Why have you suffered your wife and children to become burthensome to the parish ? Defendant—l sent her 51. six weeks ago Wife—lt is not so, I assure your Worship, crying hysteri cally. The fact is he is living with a lady named who keeps her carriage. She has weaned his affections from me. From her he receives those elegant rings (pointing to his fingers, which were profusely covered with jewellery) and clothes. No one but myself knows what I have suffered through him. Four weeks ago, when at the point of my se couchement, I sent to him for assistance, having neither bed, blanket, food, nor any sort of provision for my babe, and he even then neglected rue, and I must have gone without had it not been for a lady now in attendance. Mrs. B. subse quently came to me, and asked if I was married to the pri soner, and when I showed her my marriage certificate she said he was a villian, as he had protested to her such was not the case. Before she left she put Si. into the hands of one of my children, promising to be no longer deceived by ray hus band, with whom, however, she still cohabits, and he was taken from her house this morning. Mr. ROGERS-86w many children have you ?—Wife— Five, Sir, and I want him to support them. As for my self, I require nothing further from him. Let him place the children in a respectable family, where I call see them, and I shall feel satisfied. I was brought up to the pro fession (the stage), and I have plenty of opportunities. of re turning to it. . _ (MET ROGERS (to the defendant)—Unless you come to an arrangement I shall send you to the House of Correction. The defendant, having consented to his wife's proposal, was liberated. The I3arristers of the Western Circuit have a fair prospect of a beautiful harvest at the next Assizes. At Dor chester alone there are no less than twelve actions to be tried, arising out of Corporation squabbles in Poole and other places; and at Taunton there are about fifty qui tarn actions for bribery at the Bridgwater and Bristol elections. .../ j ia •, p 1 zei,7,e.:4/.,7-,..,;, ,/ < / f../...2 0 6 • 5TAT,.,,4 (From the L, •••• .k... , ;,.._•,,, —' 7- - A , . ---.'. 11 1 e cr- ,--- i -- . ~s,‘, ..„,.. ,p-e ,TiA LEEDS.. , ()win .441 cf IN " ..... ..... a -& ....4 . - markets in the same stn .1 , , t ‘, _ _, i CT ~ ' 7. k ~: .:. , ~ . 0.151 ..A --` e ) r_..,- -- -,r vi.,.., , w i f : '74 ..) t -‘ .
